Method

  1. Cook 2 cups brown rice per its package and let it cool (day-old rice works best).
  2. Dice the carrots and bell pepper and slice the scallions. Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet or wok over high. Add the carrots, pepper, minced garlic, and about 1 tbsp grated ginger and stir-fry 3 minutes.
  3. Add the edamame and peas and stir-fry 2 minutes. Add the rice and soy sauce and stir-fry, pressing it into the pan, until hot and a little crisp, 4–5 minutes.
  4. Off the heat, stir in the sesame oil and scallions and serve.

My simplified version leans on a published recipe I trust. I haven't reworked it into a tested original like the bread — so here's the source, with credit where it's due.
